Bronze medalist at the Olympics Vladimir Nikitin told that in August he would have his ninth professional ring fight, which would be his farewell career.
– My farewell fight will be on August 22 in Syktyvkar. I was born in the Komi Republic, and there I will have a farewell fight on Komi Republic Day.
– This raises the question of the reasons for stopping a career at 32.
– Well, already well – 25 years in sports. In addition, due to the situation in the world, it is difficult to progress in his career (in boxing) and the injuries are felt. I had more than 300 fights in Olympic boxing, and it is also felt.
I have other suggestions. And so I ate in boxing. And in our business… when you’re not hungry, there’s no point in procrastinating. Also, I don’t need financial moments. I have other things to do than boxing. It’s clear when you have a goal, you go to the title, and that motivates you, and when there is no such motivation… Just to make it uninteresting, Nikitin told .
Nikitin has six wins, one loss and one draw in professional terms. In Olympic boxing, Nikitin, in addition to the bronze of the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, became the second in the 2013 World Championship and the third in the 2013 European Championship.
